MACDONALD: Guessing Games [Update]

Tue, 2025-09-16 21:00 +0000

If you live in New England, and maybe this is true everywhere, you can’t trust the weather forecast more than a day or two out. The joke in the northeast is that if you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes. And it’s all fun and games until you talk about climate change – by ... Read more

MORIN: Everyday Americans are being Radicalized

Tue, 2025-09-16 14:00 +0000

This is an excellent summation of the horrific events that occurred last week by Robert Sterling on X. It deserves to be seen by more than those just on social media.

MACDONALD: “Woman” Wiggles Penis at Child In The Park

Tue, 2025-09-16 11:00 +0000

The UK media is a few cans short of a six-pack. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer? Has a few loose screws. But they’ve got a lot of company. The institutional media is top-heavy with virtue signaling idiots, but the UK press has to be a lot more careful. In England, they arrest you, ... Read more

On July 31, 2025, I appeared before a new judge in Superior Court South for a hearing on a motion to disqualify Attorneys Bolton and Leonard from my cases. I filed that motion because both attorneys have repeatedly shown an inability to remain professionally detached, as officers of the court are required to do. Over ... Read more

MACDONALD: Do We Need To Fire People Who Are Happy Charlie’s Dead?

Mon, 2025-09-15 11:00 +0000

Free speech needs protecting, but we have to accept that it is not absolute. It is also critical to grasp, as a reminder, that private entities are not bound by it. Actual defamation is not protected, nor is demonstrable incitement to violence. This last bit is crucial as regards the celebratory social updates, as well ... Read more

MACDONALD: Majority of 40 and Unders Think Income Should be Capped

Sun, 2025-09-14 21:00 +0000

Numerous polls and studies and research and you know the deal, have come out over the past fifteen years, telling us “college students” oppose free speech.

If you really believe that ‘there is no place in our country for political violence’, then you can’t support taxation.  Because taxation — forcing people to give you their money, to spend it on what you want, by threatening them with harm if they don’t give it to you — is perhaps the oldest and ...
